Best backman to bring in under 400K

First time poster
19 trades left looking to double trade this week - Both Upgrades though .. Bringing in Chapman and a Backman. While the decision on Chapman is easy I am looking at spending cash saved up.

Also must mention mainly going for a league win .. but i want good overall standing 2nd year of dt.. made a lot of mistakes last year.. and looks like making more this year.

Current Backline

Gibbs , Grimes , Goddard , Adcock , Duigan , smith , Obrien bench Stanley , Lower , Otten ,

Looking to Upgrade Duigan this week (waiting for bubble to bring in Hibberd) for Otten/Obrien

Cash to spend will be 191000 on top of Duigans price - around 400k all up

This means I can get ANY back.

Of course the list is short

Scottland - Scoring well .. but has a bye in an important final.. I dont want to have to side trade him in that week
Deliedo - Has strung together 2 decent scores.. But sometimes goes missing for those frustrating 50s -dpp is always handy though
H.Shaw - ...One of my hot and cold players from last year .. seems more consistant.. can wait till after the bye to pick him up
Enright - Mr consistant .. has a bye in the finals but hoping to go through to the round 3 of finals without playing round 2. But if something goes wrong keeping a trade up my sleeve
Gram - Saints are Scaring me at the moment.. I want a keeper.. not a average 80 score - but also dpp
Rawlings - North Melbourne is so poor at the moment.. he should see lots of it down back.. Allows me to save some money 42k from the top scottland.. But was more leaning towards Enright or deledio (rawlings would save only about 20k on enright)

Plan is to upgrade another back later in the year as Cash cows mature.

If you could pick any premo backman who would you choose (doesnt have to be one of these)?

Easily Lids. Gives you MPP as well.

Rawlings is concerning. I'd be tempted if he posted a score against a good team...

76 and 54 against Collingwood and Freo

104, 86 and 105 against West Coast, Richmond and Port Adelaide.

Scores pretty poor against good teams, great against rubbish teams. His BE is ~72 this week, so he won't cost much more money if you want to wait a week to see if he can perform again Geelong.

Rawlings i think He is a STAR i have got him in my team and when he doesnt tag players he is gauranteed 90 plus but next week i am bringing in Enright so i would choose rawlings....

I went Mackie over Lids this year, massive mistake in going someone unique as everyone had lids.

I still have faith in him though, just needs to play loose rather then playing hard on his opponent. Againts the Swans he tagged O'keefe which shat me.

This week against Roos he should get plenty of space.

As for the question, I'd go Enright due to his 1st bye down already
